Montreal, Canada ( November 3, 2003) - Responding to growing demand and increasing requirements for data acquisition and synthetic instrumentation, Gage is pleased to announce the release of a version of the CompuScope 82G which features an enhanced 1 GHz bandwidth. The new product is called CompuScope 82G-1GHz and it is priced exactly the same as the standard CompuScope 82G.

With more than 1 GHz bandwidth, the CompuScope 82G widens the precision and range of applications of fast digitizers. "The enhanced bandwidth minimizes the distortion of high frequency components, improving the characterization of very fast transients from laser pulses and high-speed electronic signals," pointed out Dr. Andrew Dawson, Sales Manager at Gage. While sampling at 2 GS/s, the new CompuScope 82G-1GHz allows under-sampling, all the way up to the Nyquist frequency, of continuous periodic signals to extract important spectral information. A better frequency response also enables more reliable I&Q measurements in communication systems.

The new version of this very popular digitizer is available for both the PCI and the cPCI/PXI buses. The CompuScope 82G-1GHz can be equipped with 2, 8 or 16 MB of on-board acquisition memory, and is fully compatible with Gage's famous oscilloscope software, GageScope ® , allowing customers to perform their measurements without any programming.

Gage also offers Software Development Kits (SDKs) for C/C++, MATLAB ® , LabVIEW ® , and LabWindows/CVI, with support for Windows 95/98, NT, XP and Windows 2000.
